          Introduction to PIN-Entry
        </h2>
        <p>
          The <span class="application">PIN-Entry</span> package contains a
          collection of simple PIN or pass-phrase entry dialogs which utilize
          the Assuan protocol as described by the <a class="ulink" href=
          "http://www.gnupg.org/aegypten/">�gypten project</a>. <span class=
          "application">PIN-Entry</span> programs are usually invoked by the
          <span class="command"><strong>gpg-agent</strong></span> daemon, but
          can be run from the command line as well. There are programs for
          various text-based and GUI environments, including interfaces
          designed for <span class="application">Ncurses</span> (text-based),
          and for the common <span class="application">GTK</span> and
          <span class="application">Qt</span> toolkits.
        </p>
        <p>
          This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-9.1
          platform.
